In January and February 2006 I traveled through Morocco and
Tunisia to photograph examples of the development of Islamic architecture from
the earliest examples through the most modern monuments as well as surviving
examples of the previous civilizations, Punic, Roman, and Byzantine. These
slides, digital images and digital scans of the slides are currently available.
They have been catalogued with complete meta data in spreadsheet format.

In January 2008 I traveled to Cairo to photograph Fatimid and Mamluk art and
architecture in the old city as well as Christian architecture in the Coptic
Quarter. Upon concluding the work in Cairo I travelled by night train to
Luxor for a trip up the Nile, visiting the principal Pharonic monuments. The
examples of Islamic art and architecture may be seen by following the link below
or at left to Islamic Art and Architecture, the Pharonic sites may be
seen by following the link at left to Ancient Egypt.

In September 2010 I travelled to Libya and Algeria to photograph Islamic art
and architecture and the ancient cities of Cyrene, Appolinia, Leptis Magna,
Sabratha, and Ptolemais in Libya and Timgad and Djemila in Algeria. Examples of
these images and of the related museum collections may be found by following the
link at left to Roman Empire. While in Tripoli I also documented several
historically significant mosques in the old city and along the coast. In
Algiers I documented the Casbah, including several significant Ottoman palaces,
as well as French Colonial architecture in the port and downtown districts, in
Tlemcen I visited the Great Mosque and the Mosque of Sidi Boumedienne, while in
Constantine I documented the Mosque of Sheik Abdelkader, the third largest
mosque in the world. Examples of the images of these mosques in Libya and
Algeria may be found by following the link at left or below to Islamic
Art and Architecture.
